The Go Template engine library collection with the most stars in GitHub

This is a creation in Article, where the information may have evolved or changed.

In the Go language world, in addition to the standard library's own html/template package, there are a wide variety of third-party template engine libraries, mostly from experience inheritance in other languages.

Mention the Go Language template engine, many people will naturally think of pongo2 template engine, which is the author of the first Go language template engine, almost all go mainstream popular web framework to support it, you even in Xormplus/xorm This database framework library can also see his figure, It's a go language template engine like the Django syntax, and if you've done Python before, you'll be very gracious.

Another I like the Go Language template engine is jet, it is powerful, and efficient, very good performance. Another big feature is IDE support, which has an idea plugin for developers to use, GitHub address: Https://github.com/jhsx/GoJetPlugin. This is also the author's main use of the Go Language template engine (previously there are some old projects using the Pongo2 template engine, the other Xormplus/xorm SQL template is also adopted pongo2).

There is also a Go Language template engine library that I want to mention is Go-template, which is more like a template engine adapter, and its biggest feature is that it supports standard html/template, Amber, Django, handlebars, Pug (Jade ), markdown Six kinds of template engine.

The Go Language template engine is mainly divided into two major categories, one is non-precompiled generated Go Code template engine (such as mentioned above), the other is precompiled generation Go Code template engine, this kind of template engine due to the innate advantage, performance will be better, whether the use of such engines, depends on the needs of your project to weigh. The leader of this kind of engine is hero, is also a Chinese developed the Go Language template engine library.

At present, I use the Go Language template engine is mainly Pongo2,jet and hero. If you want to recommend the Go Language template engine library, you are welcome to share the message.
